A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR:

Welcome to Homecoming, Panoramic Voices’ official 25th Anniversary Concert & Gala! We are so very grateful to celebrate 25 years of “music without borders” with YOU!

If this is your first experience with Panoramic Voices, please know that our choir is a beautiful community of singers diverse in age, race, skill level, and social/economic background. Everyone is welcome here! In fact, we’ve actively removed barriers to participation, such as auditions and fees. Our “music without borders” approach is what makes us special and unique in the Austin arts community, and we hope that we can share just a tiny piece of that with you today!

Registration will open over the summer for our next concert—Folk, Yeah! at Jester King Brewery! We can’t wait to share more information with you about this exciting project, which will feature a couple of stellar collaborations (TBA). As we finalize some details, we invite you to mark your calendars for October 21 (with rehearsals on Thursdays starting in mid August), register for our email newsletter, and follow us on Facebook and Instagram. We will announce singer registration as soon as it is live via email and social media. Again, all are welcome!

Hopefully you’ve had a chance to check out the silent auction, which will close right after intermission. A huge thank you to Nancy Stallcup and Sarah Cook for their hard work on this! Please do shop and bid—your purchases help launch Panoramic Voices into the next 25 years! We will announce winners at the very end of our concert, and items can be picked up on your way out.

As with all of our concerts, we hope you prioritize FUN this evening. Sing along, dance in the aisles, cheer for your favorite soloists… choir is a team sport, and your enthusiasm and energy keeps us going!

THANK YOU for being a part of the Panoramic story: present, past, and hopefully future.

-Juli
